No, this is the best way to make mistakes (ie: invoice hardware with
2 decimals, but invoice telephone seconds with 8 & connections w/ 3 or 4
on the same invoice, oeuf corse).

Format$ is not very useful because of conversions it involves.

Using integer arithmetics is muuuch tooo slooow.

So the less worse is still Format$.
